Here's the instructions btw.

- weq 11y agoI run a Mac VM using hackintosh on my windows box! VS + MacVM = how iOS dev should be ;)
- V-2 11y agoIs it difficult to set up?
- zamalek 11y agoThe VM or Visual Studio? The VM? A coworker had no problems installing OS X in VMWare for his pet project, less than a day. Visual Studio? This is Microsoft that we're talking about. I haven't done this or seen anyone do it, but I've read articles and it seems as though it has the usual straightforward qualities.
- V-2 11y agoThat's possible, true, but the company deemed it too expensive to supply everyone with two computers and then pay for VS licenses on the top of Xamarin licensing (already rather pricey)
- baldfat 11y agoAs a former manager IT KILLS ME. We spend millions on salaries but we can't spend thousands on hardware? A $700 mac mini is less then a week of salary. Heck the license fees are more then a mac mini.
- skrowl 11y agoThis same thing works for OS X running on VMware on a Windows host. While it's not officially supported, it works and is pretty simple to get up and running.
